How You Can Start, Build, Manage, or Turn Around Any Business

To start and build your own successful business you need special disciplines; disciplines that are practiced by all successful entrepreneurs and self-made business millionaires.

You can either learn and practice these disciplines early in your entrepreneurial career or you can learn and practice them later. Sooner or later you must become knowledgeable and skilled in each of these seven areas if you are going to build a successful enterprise. And the longer it takes you to master these seven areas, the longer it will take and the more it will cost, before you eventually achieve your financial and business goals.

You can get more insight into these special disciplines from Brian Tracy's new program, "How You Can Start Build, Manage or Turn Around Any Business."

The Best Way to Create a Secure Second Income

Like many people, you're probably worried about the current state
of the economy and how you're going to have enough money
to get through the rough period ahead.

Today, sudden expenses and bills that pop up unexpectedly
can make managing your finances even harder

Wouldn't it be great to have a little extra cash on hand each month
to cover these bills? Or a little extra money to put aside for the
special things you want? Well, there is a solution for both and it's to
create a second, "passive" income source. One that brings in
just enough money to take the edge off your money worries,
yet doesn't take away too much of your time from your
regular job and daily routine.

Today, more and more people are earning that extra cash with a
small Internet-based online business.

Now, I know what you're thinking. You've probably seen so many
of these Internet money-making schemes in your email box that you
think the only people making money are those selling
Internet courses!

Yes, they are making money. But so are thousands of others.
Ordinary people who have a particular passion for something –
whether it's a hobby, a sport, a collectible, or a favorite activity.
Believe it or not, thousands have turned their passion into a truly
profitable online business. One that brings in enough money on a
monthly basis to give them the breathing room they need in today's
tough economy.

Author and entrepreneur Nick Usborne is a good example. He's
built a thriving web business around his love for coffee, of all things.
His site offers helpful information on the best coffee makers, the
health benefits of coffee, coffee drink recipes and more. Believe it
or not, he's making a couple of thousand dollars a month just
from this one site.

Nick offers a free report on how he set up his site and how you
can do it, as well.

This probably isn't the first "how I made money online" report
you've seen. Maybe you've even checked out a few online
money-making courses but somehow haven't yet taken the plunge
into an Internet business. There are a number of people who offer
low-cost, easy-to-follow courses that can help you set up an
online business quickly.

Jim Edwards offers a way to set up "mini" money-making websites
without being a computer geek, or buying expensive software or
having to pay outrageous fees to a webmaster.

Alexandria Brown offers her Online Success Blueprint in a Box
that shows how any time-starved solo-preneur can use email and
the Internet to leverage their business and create extra income
on the side.

Bob Bly offers his Internet Marketing Retirement Plan, an easy
to way to generate extra money that also requires very little
work on your part to keep it going, once it's up and running.

These, together with Nick Usborne's approach, are all good first
steps into the world of having a money-making web business.
But here's the real secret:

It really doesn't matter which course you choose! Just pick one
and get started. Most people who start and run a successful online
business end up following the advice of many Internet marketers,
not just one. But you have to start somewhere, and taking the
first step is the most important one.

Having an Internet business is NOT an overnight, get rich quick
scheme. It does take time. And you have to make a habit of tending
to your Internet business like a garden – whether it's writing web
pages, sending emails to your customer list, writing blog entries or
articles – on an ongoing basis to make it work. But you can do as
little as one hour of work each day and make huge progress towards
creating a solid, steady second income. One that you can count on to
make life easier and more enjoyable even in these tough times.

A Glimmer of Hope

I don't have to tell you that things are tough right now. You hear about it every day in the newspapers, on TV, and in talking with your friends.

What we don't get enough of is some good news. News that this mess will in fact pass, and that we will survive and thrive again.

And that's why I'm writing to you today. First, to mention that there are already some hopeful signs on the horizon. Banks are beginning to have more cash on hand and be able to lend (at least here in Canada). Housing starts jumped upwards in the U.S. last month, the first increase in over a year.

But what I really want to mention is how you can get through this economic crisis … make more money … and most importantly, never feel as worried or exposed financially, again.

The best way to do that is to never have to rely on just one income source. Today, more than ever, it makes sense to "diversify" your family's income.

That means having several sources of income, some big, some small. And not just a salary (or two salaries). Whether it's a small business on the side … a self-employed spouse who has multiple clients … or even a part-time job that brings in a little extra cash if you're retired (and keeps you active!) … today, you've got to "Outsource Yourself."

That's why I'm pleased to tell you that I have re-launched my website, Outsourcing-Yourself.com and totally revised my book about earning extra income. The new version has several important new chapters, including:

-Why you need to "Recession-Proof" your income and the best way to do it

-How to start your own business even if you don't have any "business" skills or anything to sell

-The best way to earn extra income if you're retired or semi-retired

-The top part-time jobs for retirees and your possible earnings

-How to break through the billable hours ceiling if you're a freelancer or consultant

-Why an internet business MUST be part of your multiple income streams. Plus, the best Internet business models to follow

-The secret to getting cash in the door in a jiffy

-And much, much more

I mention this because in the weeks and months ahead, I hope to bring you more good news instead of gloomy predictions. And more ways to pull yourself out of this economic tailspin and enjoy the kind of life you dream about.

I hope you'll join me for this journey back to prosperity.

Best regards,


Barnaby Kalan
